Thanks for joining us. How did you get a "Bootlegger"? That was supposed to be the last knife in the series but Buck pulled the plug on them. I didn't know they had any actually made. I had only gone in to approve the prototype..... It was only month's after that, I found out that the head of the Co. had authorized giving all employees there one of them for their Christmast Gifts. And I didn't get ONE from them. After one of my good friends at Buck found this out she gave me hers and said "Karen, you deserve this!" She was so sweet. She was not aware that I was left out of the loop on this decision. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. Then month's after they gifted their employees the blades, I had to endure watching them one by one post them on EBAY - selling them for exorbitant amount using Ron's name and my company name,Hoods Woods, to make a few bucks on us! I didn't see ONE dime from them! Not a good way to handle a business relationship with a widow!

Anyway - rant off. I am over it. But it was "dirty pool" and was handled poorly in my opinion. Was not a good note to end on after my (I though was good standing) relationship with that company.

Too bad, I really thought this line of knives were some of the best out there. I have a few sets of the original 3 to keep because I love them. My kids will enjoy these long after I'm gone.
